For the first ti, Yang Mowan understood what it ant to be completely paralyzed with fear, unable to move.
With those blood-red eyes staring at her, she couldn’t even move a finger!
She realized this wasn’t the supernatural ability of a fierce ghost, it was simply pure terror!
Her muscles were stiff, her body uncontrollable, her mind blank.
It’s over...
The only thought that crossed Yang Mowan’s mind was these two words.
With the ghost watching her, she couldn’t think of any ans of escape. Right now, making even the slightest sound seed glaringly obvious.
Yang Mowan slumped on the ground, the pair of eyes in the gap between the shelves slowly moved away, it was coming...
Intense fear crawled over her heart, along with grievances, fear, confusion, and reluctance, all kinds of emotions surged up.
"Who... can... save ..."
The soft call of desperation seed so weak and futile. Yang Mowan knew well that she was most likely alone on the third floor, and even if soone would be kind enough to save her, they wouldn’t know she’s already encountering the ghost.
"Clink—"
The bell rang again, bringing so confusion to her despair, was there sothing odd about this fierce ghost...
But she had no mood to study its abnormality now.
Just as the fierce ghost was about to erge from the aisle between the shelves, suddenly! Music blared on every floor of the entire building!
A rush of delightful surprise filled Yang Mowan’s heart, how did the music start suddenly?
But she had no ti to ponder the question, she started running!
The fierce ghost seed montarily stunned by the sudden heavy tal music. By the ti it fully erged from the shelves, the boutique was already empty.
The loud music covered all sounds and the rotten fierce ghost eerily turned its head, quickly leaping towards the stairs.
...
Fifth floor.
The control room of the departnt store.
Bai Yanliang watched the ghost from the surveillance screen leaping towards the fifth floor, and his finger left the button of the music player.
He was the one who played the music.
From the start, he planned to co here.
The departnt store’s surveillance wasn’t shut off at night, even though there was no security staff in the building after dark.
Sure enough, as he expected, the walls displayed screens showing conditions on each floor, and there was also a main audio control switch nearby.
When Bai Yanliang saw Yang Mowan’s situation on the monitors, he pressed the button to play music.
She escaped.
But it seed he got himself into trouble.
Bai Yanliang quickly left the control room, from the fierce ghost’s actions heading directly to the fifth floor, it obviously knew soone was hiding in the control room.
Must escape quickly!
However, just as Bai Yanliang pushed open the door to leave, he unexpectedly collided with another person.
Song Que!
"You!"
Song Que’s eyes widened, stepping back several steps, almost hitting the wall until Bai Yanliang caught him.
He hid for a while, and nothing ca into the projection room to find him. It wasn’t until the music played, loud enough to mask noise, that he gathered the courage to leave and find a new hiding spot.
But as soon as he erged, he bumped into Bai Yanliang.
"The ghost ca up from the left escalator, we’ll go down the right one."
Bai Yanliang said quickly.
Song Que’s fear had just risen, but Bai Yanliang’s urgent words interrupted it.
He was about to ask carefully when he saw Bai Yanliang already running away.
Recalling what he just said, Song Que couldn’t care if Bai Yanliang was a fierce ghost.
The situation couldn’t possibly get worse, so Song Que gritted his teeth and followed Bai Yanliang down the right escalator.
Just as their figures left the fifth floor, the rotting fierce ghost leapt up the left escalator, jumping several steps towards the control room.
...
Run, escape quickly!
As the music played, Yang Mowan stumbled down the stairs.
Though she hit so sharp places, bruising all over, just thinking about the "ghost" chasing her, she didn’t dare stop or relax.
At that mont, the music abruptly stopped.
Luckily, Yang Mowan had already reached the entrance on the first floor, the place she had planned to get to.
Clutching her pounding heart, Yang Mowan still hadn’t processed that she actually managed to escape?!
It was unbelievable, how did the music start playing suddenly at that mont?
Truly, there was a way out of every predicant...
However, just as Yang Mowan relaxed her guard, from behind the reception desk she was leaning on, a hand suddenly reached out...
...
The music stopped.
Bai Yanliang, hiding in a ga room on the fourth floor, held his breath.
It was clear who had turned it off.
Beside him, a pair of eerie eyes stared fixedly at him.
"Who exactly are you?"
Song Que asked in a low voice.
Bai Yanliang turned to look at him, Song Que’s eyes glowed silvery-white in the dark.
"You can see in the dark?" Bai Yanliang didn’t answer, but asked back.
Song Que was silent for a mont and stared at him, "Not only that, I can see so other things."
What an extraordinary person...
He must be similar to Xu Zhifei, born with so special ability.
Bai Yanliang mused, why am I just so ordinary?
"It’s your turn to answer ." Song Que asked again, staring at him closely.
Bai Yanliang didn’t quite understand what he ant, from Song Que’s gaze he saw wariness, confusion, but more than that, fear.
Do I scare him that much?
Bai Yanliang was a bit puzzled.
Do I look ugly?
"I don’t understand your question." Bai Yanliang replied in a low voice.
He had just finished speaking when there was a noise at the escalator.
"Clink—"
"Hush—"
Song Que gestured for silence.
However, at this mont, Bai Yanliang gently tugged his sleeve, nodding his head to the side.
Following his gaze, Song Que’s eyes suddenly brightened.
There was actually such a thing here?!
Not far from them was a toy slide leading directly to the second floor!
No doubt, it was the ga room, truly ingenious.
Before the figure at the escalator appeared, they both quickly dove into the slide, slipping down to the second floor in a rapid descent.
"Don’t you think Zhou Li’s bell sounds a bit odd?"
After erging from the slide, Song Que asked in a low voice.
Bai Yanliang looked up at the ceiling, as if his gaze penetrated the floors.
"Because that’s not Zhou Li, we’re playing hide and seek with a real ghost now."
Bai Yanliang’s voice was sowhat ethereal, and combined with the suspicion Song Que already held towards him, he couldn’t help but shiver.
He instinctively followed Bai Yanliang in looking up at the ceiling, asking, "Then... what about Zhou Li? Has sothing happened to him?"
Bai Yanliang remained silent, he turned to look at Song Que, "We should split up and hide separately."
Before Song Que could respond, Bai Yanliang’s figure had slid into the darkness.
Watching his disappearing figure, Song Que still felt that there was sothing indescribably strange about this man.
It wasn’t about the translucent outline he couldn’t see around Bai Yanliang.
